Bose TriPort CD Music System

Who will be the brave soul to try it out first? lol.

Bad place to ask this. You know how much we hate........ah hem (cough), love Bose products.

Salt Peanuts was being sarcastic hence the call for a brave soul

Weee, for just $220 you get not one but TWO pieces of plastic

Click "Specifications" for a good laugh.

What's wrong with this one?
For 200 bucks, I think it's quite reasonably priced.

If it's selling for AUS$200, and I didn't have my portable setup, I'd get this one. Serious.

I'm just assuming here, but I think this BOSE CDP + Triport combo will sound nicer than my current portable, Sony DCJ01 (discman/mp3 player) + MX500?

But I was just browsing through the specs, didn't say anything bout anti skip.
Does it have it?

"Skip recovery technology minimizes the bumps and jolts of on-the-go listening."

How many seconds? Who knows! Can you turn anti-skip off? Who knows! How long do the batteries last? Who knows! Is there a line-out? Who knows! How much output is there from the headphone-jack? Who knows... you get the idea. Even if all this is information that is just confusing and irrelevant to the typical BOSE customer, it should be there.

.. and it's more like $220 *US*, not forgetting this includes $149 phones.

so 70 bucks for the discman?
Hmmm... lemme see...
By BOSE standard, 150 bucks headphone = 50 bucks headphone sound quality,

therefore, 70 bucks discman:

BOSE price/3 = real life sound.

70/3 = $23 bucks sounding CDP???

Maybe my BOSE-math formula is wrong though...

But seriously, if it has at least 20hrs playback, decent sound quality (don't have to be exceptional), anti-skip equal to Sony discman, and a remote with display (I don't think it has), it is pretty reasonably priced IMO.


By the way,

If I did get the BOSE CD/MP3 player, I'm thinking to use this headphone from BOSE. You reckon it will sound ok?
